EULA Question on Data Collection

[Seema_D_]

Hello Intel,

One of my customer's has requested additional information on data collection in the EULA. They would like to know what exactly data collections are here? What types of data is being collected and used for? Can you assist? Thank you.

a.        “DATA COLLECTION. The Materials may contain certain features that generate, collect, and transmit data to Intel about the installation, setup, and use of the Materials. The purposes of data collection are: 1) to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement; and 2) to enable Intel to develop, improve, and support Intel’s products and services. When data is collected to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement, this collection may be mandatory and a condition of using the Materials. This data includes the Material’s unique serial number combined with other information about the Materials and Your computer.

When Materials are made available for use free of charge, the collection of usage data (such as randomly generated unique identifier and component/feature/function usage) may also be mandatory and a condition of using the Materials. Data collected about the installation, setup, and use of the Materials may be collated with other available data only if: 1) the purpose is to develop, improve, and support Intel’s products and services, and 2) the data will not be used to identify or contact You or other individuals.

To learn more about Intel’s data collection for these Materials, please visit: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/data-collection. To learn more about Intel’s privacy practices, please visit http://www.intel.com/privacy.”

b.        4.1 Data Collection at Registration. Based on the personal information You provided to Intel when You registered the license to the Materials with Intel, Intel has collected or will collect certain personal information from You in order to contact You regarding updates to the Materials, and regarding Your experience with obtaining, installing and otherwise using Materials, including sending You surveys to obtain the aforementioned information. (Please note the collection of this information can be revoked pursuant to section 4.2)
